Vida is great! I have to eat gluten free due to celiac disease, and they have chips that are fried in a separate fryer! Food is delicious, guac is great, and Juan, our server, was attentive and took my allergy very seriously! Can’t beat a place with great food, great service, and a great margarita ;) highly recommend to anyone visiting the lakes region!

My wife and I dined at La Vida this past Saturday. We sat outside. It was hot, but there was an awning that provided some shade.
I have to say, having read the other reviews that we did not have a great experience.
I forgot my sunglasses in the car, which was a couple blocks away. I asked my wife to order me my drink and I went to the car to get my sunglasses. When I got back, approximately 10 minutes or so later my wife still had not been waited on. That was disappointing, after another 5 minutes finally someone came to wait on us.
We ordered our drinks and our food. We both ordered the enchilada fridas and my wife had a margarita.
We were given chips and salsa and the chips were nothing to write home about nor was the salsa, it was bland
Our food came out in normal amount of time however, I would characterize everything that we got as bland. As I said we both got the enchiladas and both agreed the taste was underwhelming. Again bland.
My wife was not happy with the margarita as well. She commented that it tasted weird with a pineapplee flavor which didn’t work for a margarita?
To top it off , we were halfway through our meal, the hostess came out and asked us to shift down a seat so a party of four could sit outside. the Party of four wanted to sit outside, it was a little bit weird as we were eating and literally had food in our mouths, however by asking us to do that my wife would be sitting directly in the sunlight. So not cool. We declined and decided to not finish our meals and get the check. Rather than wait for the server to ever come back, I went inside and got the check.
I can’t reconcile our experience with the reviews which appeared to say this place is great and the food is great. But I don’t think this was a one off.
Also, the outside bar that you put your drink on and your food to eat is not wide enough, but that doesn’t change the fact that the food was bland. The service was poor and the hostess Interrupting our meal and ask us to move to worst seats was not cool.
It’s an avoid for us. We won’t be going back.

Delicious margaritas. Lovely outside seating where our dog made friends with other dogs and we had a lovely conversation with a neighbor. Great server who asked questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Did i mention- amazing margaritas?!

Drinks and food were delicious. Rice was super fluffy. I loved the tamal sauce. Only had one issue the steak fajita was way overcooked. I'll Definitely go back again.
